Figure 4. The suppressive function of pltLys-iTregs in the immune response in vivo. One million CD4+EGFP+ Treg cells (iTregs/CD45.1+) induced in vitro by pltLys or purTGFβ were sorted and transfused into F8null/CD45.2+ mice followed by rhF8 immunizations. (A) Schematic diagram of iTreg cells and rhF8 transfusion in F8null(B6) mice. (B) Stability of Foxp3 expression on Treg cells induced by pltLys. Foxp3EGFP expression was analyzed by flow cytometry on peripheral CD45.1+CD4+ T cells 6 days after iTreg cell transfusion. (C) The incidence of anti-FVIII inhibitor development. Bars represent percentages. (Di) The titers of inhibitory antibodies in immunized F8null mice as determined by Bethesda assay. The Kruskal-Wallis test was used to compare the 3 groups, and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for pairwise comparison. (Dii) The inhibitor titers in immunized F8null mice that are ≤100 BU/mL. This is a zoom-in look at the lower part of panel Di. (E) The incidence of total anti-FVIII antibody development. Bars represent percentages. (F) The total anti-FVIII antibody titers in immunized F8null mice as determined by ELISA. The Kruskal-Wallis test was used to compare the 3 groups, and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for pairwise comparison.
